Dear sir/ ma'am,

As a graduate journalism student who has completed an internship at The North Shore Times, ICON
International Communications, Marketing Eye and 3D Cards, has been published at Blitz magazine
and the literary journal UNSWeetened I am confident I have the required skills and experience to be
successful as a web copywriter.

The role requires assistance with creative content for digital marketing campaigns. I assisted with
content creation at Marketing Eye, ICON, and 3D Cards. I wrote press releases and blog posts and
created social media content for Instagram and Facebook for a variety of clients that ranged from
lifestyle-based brands such as Suntory Whiskey and Calima Coffee to more corporate brands such as
Hertz and Nudge Accounting. I have also researched for clients and have been involved in SEO.

In addition, I gained experience as the Social Media manager for the start-up Gradflow, where I
created content, advised on audience strategy and created blog posts across platforms such as
Facebook, Wordpress and Instagram.

The role requires excellent written communication skills. I interned at The North Shore Times where I
was responsible for news article writing including a cover story, in-person and phone interviews and
research for the purposes of articles on deadline. I was expected to multi task research and article
writing during my work experience.

In addition, I have been published in Blitz magazine, the University of New South Wales student
magazine where I conducted interviews and wrote articles. I have written copy and conceptually
designed advertisements for the UNSW ArtsSoc.

I have a good grasp of content writing that is essential for the role as evidenced of my years of
English tutoring. Being chosen from more than 700 applicants to publish a short story in the
UNSWeetened Literary Journal 2014 was the culmination of years of fiction writing that applies the
same foundations of articulation, readability and creativity that are evident in all media writing.

I have completed a degree in Media and Communications (Journalism) at the University of New
South Wales with an average mark of 68.4. I am proficient with Microsoft Office.

I have examples of my news articles in my CV. I have published blog posts at


http://blog.gradflow.com/?page_id=18 and http://www.marketingeye.com.au/marketing-
blog/marketing/brand-positioning-in-new-markets.html

Please find my résumé attached. I look forward to hearing from you to further discuss this position as
well as my vocational and academic achievements. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Regards,

Owen
